He changed parties? To say, independent. So if you'll indulge me. Most of us think there is no way in hell he wins as a repuke. In my view he would bring his minions along with him, grab some indees and just maybe, maybe (dog I hope not) some corporate DEMS. We all know he is not apposed to shaking the tree

Since we're hypothesizing.

He saw all the love Sinema got from the press, and he wants some of that. It also fits with his burn it all down mentality. He will claim the republicans are now in cahoots with the Democrats against him. He'll take his MEGAts with him, essentially ruining the republican party.

I play golf with some guys that would vote for a rock if we put an "R" after the name.
They thought TFG was being mistreated when dems criticized his COVID response.
But, they are tired of him now. They don't want him to run, they think he's a proven loser, and they think his style has gotten old. They actually hold him responsible for the results of this last election.
In fact, one of them has admitted that we could do worse than Biden, and he doesn't blame Joe for inflation.
When he said the "we could do worse" thing, I said "We just had worse from 2016 to 2020." & he didn't argue.

Because who in their right mind would post a photo of themselves with the laser beams and the cartoon chest, and oh lord, did he do this himself? Somebody tell me, because I can't tell anymore.

"Fans who buy 45 digital trading cards, which would cost $4,455 before any taxes or fees, are “guaranteed a ticket to attend a gala a dinner with Trump in South Florida,” the site says."

Trump is toxic. DeSantis attaching himself to a loser like that all but guarantees his presidential aspirations are over with. DeSantis' best bet is to either wait Trump out to see if he bows out from the race or not run and run in 2028.

What if his announcement is that he's going to summon DeSantis to Mar-a-Douchenozzle to ask him to be his running mate... this immediately puts him on defense. If he accepts, then the former doesn't have to worry about DeSanctimonious running against him, the campaign dollars will flow once again, and the millions who prefer DeSatan to the former will have a reason to hold their collective noses and vote him another term, knowing that Ron will then be at the top of the ticket in 2028. Of course, he'd have to give up his Florida citizenship, or maybe not.

And if he declines? He'll have to give a reason, and the only good answer is that he's dedicated to being governor until the end of his term. So if not that, then it's a done deal that he's running, and the former will go after him tooth and nail.

…a sh*tty comic book featuring him as the “hero”?

Another way to get a quick little cash infusion from the rubes. As a reaction to how the “Dark Brandon” character/memes/visuals featuring a powerful Biden have been a strong visual turned against his agenda?

Feels like that based off this goofy-*ss imagery.

Some animator (who was serious about it) did some mock-ups of a series in which he was a "super businessman", in which he and a team of adoring sidekicks (Ivanka was in there, not sure about Dumb and Dumber) would swoop in each week to solve all the problems of businesses - I think one was either a baseball team, or maybe MLB itself. He was, of course, portrayed as a stable genius, fit, healthy man, who was adored by everyone who met him etc. It may have included solving intractable world political problems too.

I've tried to find it, but no luck so far (we did have a DU thread or two about it). It's amazing just how much crud there is surrounding Trump, so when you want to find a particular clod, it's needle-in-a-haystack time. Can anyone else remember it - a name, perhaps?
